It's easy to look up potty training tips and readiness signs when your baby becomes a toddler and your child might even take to potty learning very easily, but what do you do when potty training doesn't go as smoothly as you hoped.
With our four kids, we had many challenges so I thought I'd share a few things that helped for us.
How do you know when it's time to start your toddler's potty training journey? Of course it's different for every child, so how do you know when's a good time to give it a try?
Our 4 kids were all very different as they learned to use the potty, but they did show signs that made me think 'oh, maybe we should try'...
First it's important to distinguish between swim diapers and diaper covers. Swim diapers are meant to keep 💩 poop out of the pool - full stop. It's a very important job wouldn't you agree? And a specialized one at that. Diaper covers are meant to be the waterproof layer OVER an absorbent cloth diaper that's underneath. Still very important, but quite a different function and therefore also a different cut and fit to work properly.
As much as we all love the reusability aspect of cloth diapers, they don't live forever. After 200 or 300 washes, most cloth diapers are ready to retire. Of all the components on a modern cloth diaper, elastics might be the first piece to snap, relax or dissolve. To keep this from happening prematurely, so you can get the full life out of your diapers, here's 5 things to keep in mind.
You can do it! Yes you can! If I can cloth diaper, anyone can. No, seriously, it's way less complicated than I thought it would be.
WHY cloth? Because...
✅ It's easier than you think.
✅ You choose what's best for your baby.
🌎 We have to protect the planet for our children's sake.
Not everyone buys their cloth diapers brand new. In fact, there is a thriving aftermarket for buying and selling pre-loved cloth diapers. It's one of the many surprising benefits of using cloth diapers that after you have finished using them it's sometimes possible for them to be sold second hand, donated or handed down to friends or family members.
